No Girls Allowed (Sweet Valley Kids) door Francine Pascal
Sweet Valley loves a book about sexism every now and then, and I am down for that (despite struggling a LOT with any kind of injustice, fictional or otherwise) but I do think it's unfortunate that this one revisits the soccer-related sexism from SVK 15 instead of finding another situation. Todd is a real prat here and I did find everyone's surprise at that a little hard to believe, given that he's OFTEN a prat, but oh well ;)
This was a nice story about cheating. I particularly liked Jess's complicated feelings about it—not as much guilty for what she did as upset that the other kids were unfairly accusing Liz of having cheated too. Both twins felt very in character and it was more nuanced than a lot of the SVK books.
This is one where it just doesn't work to read it as an adult, because everything is so very unbelievable. The idea that they'd just lock up a department store with two small children lost inside it and that emergency operators would dismiss calls as hoaxes the moment they heard a child's voice at the other end of the line was just too ridiculous for this adult reader—not to mention dangerous, as it's basically telling kids not to bother calling 911 if they need help. The thief trapping stuff is basically Home Alone set in a department store, and I can imagine young readers enjoying this part.… (meer)
One has to suspend disbelief a little when it comes to the film star's interactions with the SV kids, but it's the kind of thing children dream about happening, so works as a wholesome wish fulfilment story.
